Chapter 204: What Are You All Standing Here For?

"Daughter, what are you going to do about Zhuo Qiu's soup cake feast?" The child has been born for two days. According to custom, the third day after a child is born is the soup cake feast. Tomorrow, a banquet will be held to entertain relatives and friends. But before the invitations were sent out, Liu came to ask Xia Weiwei.

"Oh, Yang Biao still has to concentrate on his studies, so we won't plan to have a big wedding." Xia Weiwei sat on the bed and teased the child. Yang Biao didn't know many people in the capital, but she knew quite a few. But if she invited them, how many of them would truly wish her son the best? It was boring just thinking about it.

"Since we're not planning a big wedding, it's still necessary for the family to get together for a meal." Liu thought of summoning Yang Biao's four concubines to give her daughter some annoyance. This would prevent these concubines from always being around her, and she could still deceive herself and live a seemingly peaceful life.

"Okay, let's do everything according to mother's wishes." Xia Weiwei thought that Liu wanted to invite all five brothers to come for dinner, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Xinyue, go and notify everyone," Liu turned around and instructed another girl, Xinyue, who had served her since childhood, to call Yang Biao's concubine over.

"Wow," on the third day after the child was born, Yang Biao opened the door and prepared to go out for a morning run, and was shocked to see his four concubines standing in the yard.

"Why are you all here?" Yang Biao turned his head and looked at Xia Weiwei's door. She should not have woken up yet.

"Sister Weiwei sent someone to inform us to come to Tianguan Street today to attend the soup and pancake banquet hosted by the young master." Qin Xiaoran looked at him with some resentment. She didn't even know that he had so many concubines.

"Oh," It should be Liu's idea. She would never call someone to cause trouble for herself.

"Then why are you all standing here?" Yang Biao was a little surprised. It was unacceptable to arrive so early to attend a soup and pancake banquet.

"According to the custom, come here to pay respects to the mistress of the house." Qin Xiaoran has been with him for almost five years and speaks in a casual manner.

"Oh, then you guys should find a room to rest. You've come too early." It would still be a while before Xia Weiwei woke up and got up, so it would be better for them not to stay here.

"Okay." Knowing that he still had to go for a morning run, the four girls dispersed.

"Mother, where are my brothers?" It was almost noon, and the children's soup and noodle feast was about to begin, but the five brothers had not come yet, and none of their sisters-in-law or nephews showed up either. Xia Weiwei was a little anxious.

"Oh, your brothers and sisters-in-law, I didn't let them come," Liu took her hand and went to the hall, where a big "surprise" was waiting for her.

"Greetings to the Madam!" The four girls who were originally sitting in the hall chatting, saw Xia Weiwei and her daughter come in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted her.

"Ah!" Unconsciously, more people came into the house. When these people were not around, she felt no discomfort except that she felt uncomfortable when she thought of this matter.

But now everyone was standing in front of her, causing Xia Weiwei's heart to ache and she felt like she was having difficulty breathing.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her pale face, Liu hurried to help her. Only then did she realize that she might have gone too far. The child was still in the confinement period, so she must not make the child angry.

"Mother, I feel a little unwell and want to go back to my room to rest," Xia Weiwei knew that this was instructed by Liu. She knew the purpose very well, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"Okay," Liu hurriedly helped her back to the house. Seeing that she was holding her chest in pain, she did not feel proud of her success. Instead, she felt heartbroken.

Liu wants to understand the children from their perspective in the future and deal with problems in a more harmonious way, instead of failing to solve the problems and adding to their troubles.

"Xinyue, go call Yang Biao." Liu walked out of the house. She was the one who did everything today. She was afraid that she would not be able to comfort her daughter and would be blamed, so she asked Nanny Tong to find Yang Biao to comfort her daughter.

"Madam, I didn't ask them to come here today." As soon as he entered the room, Yang Biao quickly distanced himself from them. He hoped that she and these girls would stay as far away from each other as possible and not disturb each other.

"Yes, I know." Everything that happened today was Liu's idea, so she didn't blame him. But of the four concubines, except Qin Xiaoran, Xia Weiwei wanted to kill herself when she thought that the other three entered this family through her hands.

"I remember you said that your mother fell asleep on the bed after rolling wonton wrappers that day?" Liu was still too idle in the capital, and she was bored. Yang Biao wanted to find something for her to do, so that she wouldn't cause trouble every day.

"Hmm," Xia Weiwei looked at him blankly. What was he thinking about?

"Just tell your mother that you have no appetite and ask her to make wontons for you." Yang Biao hugged her in his arms and whispered to her about his plan.

"Mother, I want to let Yang Biao's concubines go out and set up stalls. I don't want them hanging around me. It's so annoying." In the evening, Xia Weiwei told Liu about her idea.

"Oh, okay, mother supports you." Liu looked at her with a little pride. This was something she had wanted to do for so many years but had not dared to do.

My daughter is really smart. She is worthy of being taught by Xia Zhaofeng. She is so ruthless!

As long as the concubines are tortured to a pulp, men will no longer be interested in them.

"Mom, I'm in confinement now, so I need someone to be with me. I can't send anyone to the stall to watch them do their work. Sigh," Xia Weiwei sighed and folded the child's clothes on the bed. "I don't know if they will pretend to obey and find ways to be lazy."

"Well, my daughter, your mother will naturally take care of this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely discipline them well." Liu thought that she had nothing to do in the capital, so she could share her daughter's worries.

"But, daughter, if you let these concubines set up stalls, outsiders will say that you are jealous and harsh on your concubines. If this gets out, it will damage your reputation!" After calming down, Liu still had some concerns and felt that this was not something that could be done.

"Mother, look at what you said. I can't let others know who they belong to," Xia Weiwei took out a bottle of ointment that Yang Biao gave her and said to Liu, "Mother will also apply some on her face when she goes out. As long as you don't say anything, even my brothers won't be able to recognize you."

"Oh, so magical?" Liu couldn't wait and asked her to apply it on herself quickly to see if it was really invisible.

"Madam, if I hadn't looked carefully, I really wouldn't have recognized you." Tong Xinyue looked at Liu in circles. Her face was painted black, and if she changed her clothes, she would be hard to find if she disappeared into the crowd.

"Well, daughter, put some on Xinyue too." Her own makeup couldn't be seen through the bronze mirror, so she put some makeup on Tong Xinyue as well so she could see the effect.

"Mother, you are a smart person. No demons or monsters can escape your eyes. So I feel relieved to let you keep an eye on Yang Biao's concubines." Xia Weiwei looked at Liu, wondering how long she could hold on.
